Textile designer Gabriela Fuente uses <strong>Photoshop</strong> to create patterns and prints for<br />
studios around the world. She explains what’s involved in her niche industry.<br />
Getting started<br />
I first started to use <strong>Photoshop</strong> in FASM<br />
(Faculdade Santa Marcelina – it´s a well<br />
known Fashion College in Brazil). We<br />
started to use it for presentations and<br />
photo manipulation, collages and<br />
other artwork creation.<br />
My first job after college was as a<br />
product developer for Adidas apparel.<br />
At the time it was my dream job and<br />
dream company, until I realised I didn´t<br />
enjoy designing or developing clothes.<br />
What I really wanted was to create textile<br />
prints. I decided to go to London to take a<br />
few courses, to get a better understanding<br />
of the print creation process. I did some<br />
short courses at Central Saint Martins and,<br />
during a course on digital print, I learned a<br />
few very useful techniques and tools.<br />
I learned how to create an artwork on<br />
paper and how to make it into a pattern<br />
in <strong>Photoshop</strong>. I also learnt how to ensure a<br />
pattern works.<br />
Freelance work and internships at design<br />
studios in London and Copenhagen<br />
helped me develop better ways to work<br />
with patterns and designs in <strong>Photoshop</strong>.<br />
Now I’m back in Brazil and I work<br />
as a freelancer for a print studio in<br />
Copenhagen called Fusion CPH. I have<br />
my own studio where I create and sell<br />
my work to some of the big names in<br />
Brazilian fashion. I also love creating<br />
new artwork for websites like Society6,<br />
Kess Inhouse and Front Row Society.<br />
Print Design 101<br />
A print designer is a person who will<br />
create a design that will be placed or<br />
made into a repeat. Designing a print<br />
can take anywhere from one to nine-plus<br />
hours. It all depends on the result you’re<br />
after and the complexity of the piece.<br />
<strong>Photoshop</strong> helps with everything from<br />
composing the pattern to making sure<br />
